All 151 Software & DevOps use cases

  • Test local web apps and fix errors in one session

    Claude Code with Claude in Chrome writes code, opens localhost, clicks through the UI, reads console errors and fixes them without the developer touching the browser.

    How it went The filter example took three iterations with no browser work from the developers. The setup is limited to a developer's own workstation: it needs a visible Chrome window, so no CI or headless runs, and it works in Chrome and Edge only.

  • Build a full CRM with email, video and calendar

    A community member used Replit Agent over a couple of weeks to build a CRM with email integration, video sales letter recording and meeting scheduling.

    How it went They call it a v0.2 with core functionality present and more features planned. Agent seemed better at one-shotting features. Commenters reported the mobile layout was poor, contact creation failed for one tester, and there was no login page.

    Cursor's background agent built a pricing landing page from a short spec in about 5 minutes on a new branch and opened a PR.

    How it went It took about 5 minutes. He reviewed the PR, tested it locally, and merged it to production. BugBot found no bugs on the PR. He says he only tries small, easy features so far.

  • Investigate broken builds and merge fixes

    OpenAI's internal OpenClaw agent Androidclaw uses Git, GitHub and logs to investigate broken builds, trace problems to incidents, and sometimes prepare and merge fixes.

    How it went Marsan said it has been well-adopted internally and called tracing issues and publishing fixes "Kinda game changing." The article gives no metrics, and it says only "in some cases" for the fixes.
